Scope and Content

The illustration presents a Carrozzeria Touring Milano design for the Spyder tipo Flying Star built on the short‑wheelbase Isotta Fraschini 8A chassis, shown in a clean profile with sweeping fenders, wire wheels, and a two‑tone blue‑and‑red body that reflects early‑1930s Italian styling. The Italian text translates to “Spyder type ‘Flying Star’ on Isotta Fraschini 8A short,” and the award badge notes “1st Overall Prize and Category Prize, Genoa Nervi, 23 May 1931.” Additional notes identify the drawing as a mixed‑technique rendering by G. Seregni from 1931.
